Rings Of Power EXPLAINS Why The Elves LEAVE Middle Earth..

Welcome back to Show In Motion. One of the more confusing parts of Tolkien's lore in Lord of the Rings is the Undying Lands and the reason why all of the Elves had to depart Middle-earth. In the films, the Elves are shown making the journey to leave Middle-earth, and it becomes a big part of Arwen's storyline, but it's never fully explained why they are doing this. Is this a journey they make the choice to go on, or is it a natural compulsion that leads them to make the trip? Despite being called the "Undying Lands", this process initially sounds like a sort of death and rebirth in Heaven for the Elves, but is this really the case?

Understanding why the Elves left Middle-earth is dependent on understanding their purpose in the world, and what their role within the realm is. The Elves are very different from other Middle-earth races, and are deific in their own way, as they possess this kind of splendor that was usually only attributed to the more godlike figures of the world. Going away to the Undying Lands wasn't the same as an exile or a punishment, but it was rather a sort of reward and a final gift given to the Elves by the ones who sent them to Middle-earth in the first place. The Elves felt compelled to leave Middle-earth because the Valar (deities of Tolkien's world) were spiritually summoning them to their ultimate destinies. The Valar saw the Elves as a race above the others and thought that they would fare better if they lived in the Blessed Realm (also known as Aman) with the Valar. In related news, Can one single scene encapsulate both Galadriel and Elrond's characters in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power? Apparently, yes. The Rings of Power's season 1 finale finds Galadriel and Elrond joining Celebrimbor and Gil-galad in Eregion, discussing how to save the entire race of Elves by forging a magical mithril object that sustains their light. The quartet's first order of business is figuring out exactly what to make, and Celebrimbor suggests it be something easily carried. Robert Aramayo's Elrond immediately offers, "A scepter, perhaps." His suggestion is quickly followed by Morfydd Clark's Galadriel proposing, "A sword."
